by their genomics. Thus, opportunities to commercialize these beneficial bacteria,
create a deep-down sense to investigating more about their roles and mechanisms
has been covered in Chapter 7.
1.2.4 Endophyte for Crop Protection
Plant-microbe interactions have many faces of benefit and deleterious effects. In
this trend, endophytes diminish disease development by several mechanisms but,
precisely by involving antagonistic and parasitic interaction with pathogens. ISR
and SAR contributed by endophytes using a sum of different strategies. Hence,
endophytes are now utilizing as a source of biological control. Endophyte in biological control and an image that they’re intertwined in the network for mineral nutrient
uptake/management.
1.2.5 Phosphorus Management by Endophytes
Phosphorus (P) is the second most essential mineral nutrient after nitrogen for
plant growth and development. Phosphate solubilizers have been characterized as an
important candidate for soil microbes. Like PGPR, endophytic microorganisms associated with different plants release organic acids and solubilize phosphate complexes
into ortho-phosphate for easy uptake by plants. Genetic manipulation in the strains
of phosphate solubilizing (PS) bacteria can increase the capacity and efficacy of PS
biofertilizer for sustainable agriculture, significantly covered in Chapter 3.
Along with several mechanisms of PGPR, phosphate solubilization facilitates
the conversion of insoluble P and intertwines in the biogeochemical cycle. Chapter 9
reviews the urgency of industrial agriculture to move for modern agricultural biotechnology and exploiting microbial inoculants, which can enhance plant growth and
thereby reduce the use of agrochemicals. In this way, giant information on endophyte involved in P solubilization becomes crucial to be collected. This chapter
focused on endophytic phosphate solubilization and its role in mineral management.
1.2.6 Endophytes: Ecological Advances
The realization that the plant microbiome can improve the management of plant
health, soil fertility, and crop productivity is one of the most fascinating scientific
discoveries in the world. Endophytic bacteria are unique plant microbiome that establishes them within their tissues. Chapter 12 is enhancing wisdom on putative functions
of endophyte for plant mineral nutrients acquisition and is advantageous to provide
better opportunities and viable strategies for sustainable agriculture.
